## About

```text
At eSahara, I built and launched a civic-tech prototype with campaign tracking, verification workflows, and volunteer coordination systems. After conducting 150+ interviews with NGOs, volunteers, and community leaders, I incorporated stakeholder feedback and secured early collaboration with 20+ organizations.

At Nepal Youth Action Council, I developed and submitted three policy implementation proposals addressing youth development, technology, and civic innovation. I also presented research on digital wellbeing and child and adolescent mental health, and eSahara was featured in the UNDESA STI Solutions Book and recognized among the Top 60 Global Innovations at the UN STI Forum 2026.
